Iran: FIFA, Not Trump or America, is World Cup Host, Says Football Chief
Iran’s football chief has asserted that FIFA, not political figures like Donald Trump or the United States, is the host of the World Cup. This declaration follows an incident where the Iranian delegation was denied entry into Canada due to the IRGC’s designation as a terrorist organization.
President Mehdi Taj is seeking assurances from FIFA that Iran’s national symbols, including the IRGC, will be respected during the tournament in the US, emphasizing that FIFA bears responsibility for ensuring appropriate treatment of participating nations.
